New Residence Hall Includes Geothermal

The
University's commitment to sustainability is a cornerstone of the residence
hall project.

The 150-bed
residence hall will be built to LEED standards, incorporating best practices
for efficiency and green design and construction. The University will not apply
for certification, using the savings from this expensive process to support
funding additional sustainable initiatives such as the geothermal energy
system.

Sustainability and 100-year building features in the new residence hall will
include:

Minimal footprint, building up (3 and 4 stories)
instead of out, on existing pavement
